Benefits of technology

The present invention is for a spinning toy that has a spindle with mobile threading along its circumference. When the toy is spun, the mobile threading allows an object with a matching hole to rotate along the spindle's length. The spler's spindle has a specific moving distance to thread distance ratio and a disc-shaped hub with a threaded hole. The toy also has two endcaps that are attached to the ends of the spindle. This design allows for smooth and stable spinning, providing a unique and enjoyable play experience for users.

Problems solved by technology

Fidget spinners, however, can only rotate around a single axis and can only spin.

Embodiment Construction

[0038]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

[0039]Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides an object spinner providing playful engagement between a threaded spindle and a spinning object providing a threaded hole to rotatably engage the threaded spindle. The threaded portion of the spindle is angled to provide a moving distance along the spindle with a single rotation so that the spinning object bearing the threaded hole moves along the spindle with the urging of gravitational or other applied forces, such as those applied via a user's fingers or hands. A rolling element ball bearing may maintain separation between the spinning object and a spinning nut pr...

Abstract

An object spinner providing playful engagement between a threaded spindle and a spinning object providing a threaded hole to rotatably engage the threaded spindle is provided. The threaded portion of the spindle is angled to provide a moving distance along the spindle with a single rotation so that spinning object bearing the threaded hole is urges to move along the spindle with the urging of gravitational or other applied forces. A rolling element bearing using balls may maintain separation between the spinning object and a spinning nut providing the threaded hole.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a toy and, more particularly, to a toy comprising a spinning disc on a screw spindle.[0002]Spinning toys, such as tops, are well known in the art. More recently fidget spinner toys have become very popular. Fidget spinners, however, can only rotate around a single axis and can only spin.[0003]As can be seen, there is a need for a handheld spinning object toy that offers a new form of directed motion and multiple methods of play. The handheld spinning object toy of the present invention provides a threaded shaft, a disc adapted to spin along the threaded shaft, wherein the disc embodies a spinning nut for repeatable motion. The present invention enables spinning the object along the shaft in a manner that incorporates a flippable motion into the object, providing the user with a new form of motion and playful engagement.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]In one aspect of the present invention, a spinner toy having a spindle...
